Why?
"......there will be those who expect him to stomp around the technical area in a pair of cowboy boots and spend the first half chewing tobacco."
This is the level of jounalism in the article. I've seen better writing in the Daily Star. |  | |  |

"In the past he has spoken out against the "jobs for the British boys" culture which has plagued English football for a long time"
Thats a bit of an ignorant comment from him, there is an abundance of nationalities managing in the PL. |  | | |

...whilst ignoring the "jobs for the American boys" angle. | | | |

It sounds like he has a chip on his shoulder because he hasn't been able to break in to the UK league.
Perhaps he wasn't prepared to start at the bottom and work his way up. |  | | |

Yes, funny that, we welcome SUCCESSFUL Managers from all over the world in the UK leagues and also quite a few of the less successful ones as well. | | | |

Load of bollocks, honestly. "Job's for the British boys", having a laugh right? Have they ever seen the premier league.
Here is a breakdown of nationalities of managers in the premier league
English 4
Welsh 2
Scottish 1
French 2
Italian 3
Dutch 1
German 1
Spanish 2
Portuguese 1
American 1
Argentinian 1
Croatian 1
So 7/20 "British boys". For comparison here is like said for the Bundesliga:
German 12
Italian 1
Croatian 1
Hungarian 1
Austrian 2
Swiss 1
for Serie A:
Italian 16
Portugese 1
Croatian 1
Dutch 1
Serbian 1
and for La Liga:
Argentinian 4
Spanish 13
Uruguayan 1
French 1
Italian 1
Percentage wise the amount of managers sharing the nationality of the league is 35%, 67%, 80% and 65% respectively, and to be honest given the prem is the English league not the British league that first value is open to debate. The premier league is almost suffering from the complete opposite of a jobs for the British boys culture.
The way it comes across to me is the Americans expecting to be running the show in football even thought they've only been interested for 5 minutes. Stop bleating about nationality holding you back for Christ's sake. What's holding American managers back is them staying in their cushy easy jobs in the US instead of testing themselves like BB has to his credit. |  |

Good post by yescomeon.
Anti-American bias? Only cup he won in MLS were with his first club, oops, franchise there. Failed to win anything to two domestic stints afterwards. Failed to win in Norway - Ole Gunner Solskjaer won with Molde in his first season after they nearly relegated. Missed out on promoting from Ligue 2 by one goal - whoopee frigging doo - means you failed to get the job done via points that you had to try to get lucky via goal difference. | |

In fairness OGS's success with Molde coincided with relatively massive investment into the club, so his success wasn't all down to his management skills. | | | |

The fact remains, that no matter how often it's attempted to be dressed up by the opposite argument, that this man would have not stood a cat's chance in hell of getting on our short list had he not been American. Whatever the utcome, that is surely self evident.
After all he couldn't even get a sniff when we were making a spectacle of ourselves after sacking Monk, nor when we appointed Guidolin in the summer. To try and pretend he'd have landed this gig if he wasn't American is quite clearly not true.
Just like the myth we don't want him because he's American that now seems to have been accepted by all the braindead w*nkers that populate sports journalism. Maybe ask what entitles him to a job like this you c*nts.
I'd rather Bradley than McLaren, and McClaren wasn't a yank last time I looked. He was, however a shit manager. |  |

Christ if McClaren had been appointed I would have flown back over and stormed the Liberty with my pitchfork on my own ! That clown shouldn't be in charge of an under 9's team let alone a top flight unit ! |  |
